"I wish you could have been born a Roman and stood beside me". Damn, that was the highest form of admiration and respect from Crassus (a Roman) to Spartacus (a former Slave).
I’ve haven’t read to much about Crassus but going off the show he was always viewing the bigger picture. So I’m guessing he was just imagining all the thing they would have accomplished together
Even before the last battle, when they both meet to talk. He knew Spartacus's cause was just, to fight against slavery and Roman's oppression. Crassus shakes his hand Spartacus: There is no justice, not in this world. Crassus: At last, a thing we agree upon. Spartacus: When we again meet, I'll kill you. Crassus: No, you are going to try. Spartacus: It is all a free man can do. Compared to GOT, this TV show was perfect from the beginning till its end
The second actor to play Spartacus had big shoes to fill, but somehow he did it and the show never suffered from it. Such a great unappreciated show begin to end.
@M Harish Plus the behind the scenes story of the original Spartacus actor hand picking his successor just makes it all the better for me. Tragic loss of a true talent, but at least his legacy wasn't ruined by a bad replacement actor tanking the show.
Well they did try to stay true to the legend of Spartacus. He did die fighting that's a fact that been told through out the ages. He was one hell of a figure him and Crixis Also I sure hate Andy died man R.I.P
I appreciate that Crassus respected Spartacus, it went a long way to making him a great antagonist. He was a solid character all round, but that respect for his enemy really elevated him in my book.
Well, to be fair. The real Spartacus wasn't exactly the freedom fighter from the legends. Yes he freed slaves, yes he rallied them. But he committed atrocities against the Roman people that weren't a testament of great morals. And considering what he did with his armies, liberation of the enslaved wasn't the main goal. It seemed more like he was a man unleashed. An icon, later on of course, given how freeing slaves is an objectively right thing. But not a saint. :O
@@Aedrion-so your rationale is that a former slave, who was beaten, tortured, starved abused and his life played with at the whim of Roman’s, was mean to them and did mean things to them, like he saw done to those around him and those he loved, was wrong and mean to those same people? Wow.
@@Aedrion- the only Historical Documents mentioning Spartacus is by the roman Historians and the earliest source is at least 100 years after the events. what you find about Spartacus is from the Roman POV. as they say The Winners who writes History. the Krama is that the Roman (Kingdom, Republic, Empire,...) all disappeared from the world.
Such a powerful scene, the trade off between Spartacus and Crassus not only physically but mentally really capture it. The music just makes it so surreal.
As heart breaking as it was that Andy died, you gotta admit Liam did a great job picking up the role. Given the circumstances he must've known that he was gonna feel a lot of pressure from fans (myself included). But over time I really appreciate and acknowledge the fact that Liam remained incredibly consistent with Andy's character.
He did an amazing job... Honestly... I felt grea Sorrow when Andy died but after seeing Liam performing sooo good o started praying for Andy's resting soul and enjoy the new caracter as Spartacus
Honestly, Liam was not on Andy's level in Vengeance, but that is understandable given his relative lack of experience, and having to fit in with established characters, writers, and setting. When everything got changed up for War of the Damned he really grew into the character. I would have loved to have seen another season between V and WOTD, or at least stretching the last season out to 13 episodes like the first, to better tell the second half of the story.
When Spartacus grabs the sword…the look in his eyes tells it all. That pain was nothing compared to what he’s experienced. Crassus had no choice but to offer his respect. “If but you’d been born a Roman, and had stood beside me.”
I really love the climax of their conflict. Crassus had that move in his pocket, it was foreshadowed in advance and implied that it was so bold and unpredictable that even a champion gladiator couldn’t see it coming. And he pulled it on a Spartacus that was half dead on his feet… but then our boy just doesn’t even hesitate and hits him with a straight up uno reverse on reverse, and that look on his face just says “dude, I’m not playing around here.” It’s incredible and heart wrenching to see this be the moment where our MC finally has to go down, but truth is this is the best we could get from a historical fiction standpoint. But still, Spartacus won this fight, driven by pure vengeance and rage, and at the last second, still fighting prowess and genius, manifested through a hellish gauntlet of nonstop impossible combat experience. Marcus may have walked away from the fight, but he will never be able to scrub that shit stain from his drawers.
For a show that's so over-the-top visually it has SUCH good writing. In terms of character development and the relationship between characters it's up there with some of the best and it's a shame that isn't recognised.
God what a beautiful shot show this was. The colors, the vibrancy, the cinematography. They need to 4K ultra blu ray this show. Seriously. It's stunning still to this very day.
Man I almost cried when they took this off. One of the greatest shows ever made. After Andy died, they said they wanted to just wrap it up. Ive watched this battle at least 50 times. They cut the best part… when came over that damn hill and you heard the Eagle screeching.
Mannn the chills that went up my spine with the screech and you saw Liam running up the hill. The look in his eyes. I loved this show so much. Best final 3 episodes i have ever seen
I liked it to. Tried to get my fried to watch it but as soon as it showed gay sex he was like nope and never watched it again. Tried fast forwarding to that part so he didn't notice but it didn't work.
@@KentPetersonmoney Sadly, the sex in general makes it hard to recommend this show to a lot of people. Underneath the gore and nudity there's a really quality story here.
"Wish you could have been born a Roman and stood besides me" Great phrase from Crassus, he was able to defeat Spartcaus not only because of the superior number but also because he felt a sincere and great admiration for him... Also at the moment in which he should land the last shot you see a deep sadness in his eyes... this is surely fiction we don't know what really happened thousands years ago, but i like to imagine it in this way.
I do not think he defeated Spartacus, he defeated Spartacus troops but not Spartacus, it were his soldiers with the treacherous blows who put Spartacus in bad shape. ( I am taking about the show characters, not history)
We know for sure nothing like this ever happened. Colleen McCullough version of Spartacus in her Masters of Rome book series is much better and more realistic than this Hollywood hogwash
This final season was Liam's true coming out to me. Vengeance i was still getting used to the new actor switch (RIP Andy), but this last season i don't think anyone could have done a better job than Liam. Respect to the actors and the series.
I got so emotionally involved in this show that I got so upset and pissed of that Spartacus was killed. Spartacus still today is my all-time favorite tv character. Great show .
I know it couldn't have ended any other way, but i still held hope they would take advantage of the hisorical ambiguity surrounding spartacus' death. He might have survived the battle and lived the rest of his life somewhere away from rome.
@@nienkeh301 could've ended two different ways and I would've been ok with it. Show ends when Spartacus takes the spear out of his leg and shoves it in Crassus mouth and they both die or the show ends when Spartacus disappears off the mountain and the viewer has to decide whether he made it or died. Either one I would've been ok with.
@@WRXinthe410 Nope because then Crassus wouldnt formed a triumvirate with Gaius Julius and Pompei and Via Appia wouldnt exist. The endig was good even though historically we roughly know what has happened to him and to Crassus aswell (He got molten gold showed in his mouth) they still made it lenient so it wasnt complete slaughter but nail bitting atmopshere full of twists. And they even kept it to prologue where Sura said Spartacus he find his doom under the red serpent.
Damn still get me every time. Most shows that replace a lead actor end up not doing as well. It was Sad losing the former Spartacus to cancer but the new one filled his shoes perfectly and i hope made him proud. Rip.
THE most epic scene in the entire show. Obviously, that fight didn't occur but it is one of the few times that the historical incoherence feels adequate. Fun fact, Spartacus' body was never recovered, so who knows if he truly died during the final battle against the Romans. Fortunately, the producers saw fitting to give it a glorious ending
we kinda know some few details. like the whole gladiator event for cixus death actually happened we know that in the battle Spartacus saw Crassus on the battlefield and pushed to confront him causing Crassus to get knocked of from his horse and be saved by his men. but we dont know what happened to spartacus his body was never found and none of the prisoners of war were willing or able to identify him.
I absolutely loved this show. Andy (RIP) and Liam were both awesome and Dustin as Gannicus was the coolest dude on the show. I am for coin and the company of questionable women was classic Gannicus line. I never watched Game of Thrones but think I would be disappointed after Spartacus. Did they ever say His real name? He said as he died it was not his name. I loved the fact that Crassus had so much respect for Spartacus. Just a great show. I still have the finale saved and watch it occasionally and tear up as he dies. I expected nothing when I started watching and got everything. Great show!
When Spartacus re-grabbed the sword by the blade, Crassus realized this guy was the real deal, and that he has nothing on Spartacus as both a warrior and tactician.
Yes, one of the best scenes in the show imo. Fantastic detail because earlier in the season Crassus learned that this was the way to defeat Spartacus, the actor did an amazing job with his reaction as he realized Spartacus had no match.
Before my father in law passed this was one of our favorite shows to watch. When Spartacus said bring me a sword after being impaled, we both said thats a TOUGH mfer. Miss you Kenny
This is one of the best series I ever watch it was action-packed from the first season to the end and I faithfully watched every last one of them!! Thanks you HBO!! Real Talk!!
damn just finished and im drowned in a valley of emptyness, this show was my life. I knew the last episode was coming and when it finished i was dead inside
Chin up, a spin off Spartacus series is in the works. Same show runner, Stephen Deknight. I'm guessing it'll be about Crassus, Ceasar & Pompey but just speculating
Have you watched vikings, or the last kingdom? Thats how i felt with those shows. Ive only seen bits and pieces of spartacus i think im gonna sit down and actually watch it
Incorrect Richard. He did indeed face Crassus on the battlefield. He and Crixus did indeed split forces. And both fought bravely till being beaten by superior numbers. Crassus was killed many uears later after a falling out with Pompei and the senate about attacking the Parthians. The Parthians offered Crassus a sit down talk, on way to said meeting one of Crassus men suspected ambush grabbed Crassus horse by the bridle and caused a fight with the Parthians. They killed the Roman Party including Crassus and poured molten gold down his throat as a symbol of his greed of wealth. Although not entirety accurate. Spartacus remains a good account the time back then. Amd was historically accurate mostly.
@@TheTich87 richard woodley is correct. you are in the wrong. the other richard never spoke of crassus. why did you? you only speak about crassus. the other richard only ever spoke of spartacus killing batiatus and glaber. and literaly said everything in the show spartacus about dealing with Crassus was only a add on bonus. dumbass
@@TheTich87 he meant that for a value of satisfaction, Spartacus already succeded well above expectations by getting his revenge on Batiatus and Glaber. He never claimed that Spartacus didnt face crassus. He just meant that by that point, it was just a bonus. Comprende? You need to get your head out of your ass so you actually understand what people are trying to say.
Easily the best portrayal of the Spartacus saga to have ever graced a screen, the most realistic arena fights and battles to have been recorded by camera and the best actor to have assumed the main lead role; an absolute cinematic epic that time will venerate as one of the finest of the genre regardless of any future attempts to render similar stories convincingly.
Realistic arena fights? Definitely not except maybe the executions of the criminals (if they were facing against a professional gladiator, then they wouldn’t have been given real weapons). The show brutalized the sport of gladiators more than what it really was in Ancient Rome. Nonetheless it was still a good show
The show definitely upped Crassus' Bad Guy repertoire to make him a proper nemesis. The real Crassus wasn't this Tywin Lannister master strategist, and he definitely wasn't a master swordsman who could take a champion gladiator in a fight.
I believe he was good enough as he beat the man who glaber couldnt defeat. and it requires quite an intelligence to amass that amount of wealth. he did not "take" spartacus in a fight. as you can see spartacus here is extremely tired of battle. hardly able to walk. at 00:29 he couldnt even thrust the sword. if spartacus as fresh as crassus, the fight would've taken 5 seconds.
@@godwantsplastic i disagree about what he said but objectively Arya killing the night king made no sense whatsoever. Jon should have dueled him, point blank
To this day the emotion of this scene, the acting by Liam in this scene was unbelievable . Why these actors were robbed of the awards they deserved I will never understand
Those last 3 episodes 💔 Crixus battle. The Gladiator tribute battle. The final battle vs Rome and then Spart vs Crass. SHALL WE BEGIN?! *Chefs kiss* it was so damn good ! The best ending ever to any series. We all wanted the different outcome but wow wow wow . And Liam gives me GOOSEBUMPS EVERY SINGLE TIME!
@@wayne47able i wouldn't mind seeing a spin off of his comrades after they buried him and what they did after the made it to the other country, what the Roman republic did afterwards
Lockdown.. Watched all & everything in the collection avid G.O.T fan. Then entire Spartacus series having missed many episodes when released. Have to agree with comments The finale was better than G.O.T . Superb - acting, action, expression, arc, emotion, drama & brilliant music, damn strong onions !! What a rollercoaster of supreme alpha madness. Rip Andy Congratulations Liam, Manu & co Uk 🇬🇧 💥💥
I like how for Agron and the other slaves in the area, Spartacus's life was so much more important than Crassus's that they didn't even bother to kill Crassus - Agron just knocked him away as if he was just an insignificant lowlife, and it's as if he was so worthless to Agron and the other slaves in the area that they wouldn't spend [any of the time that they could spend staying with Spartacus during his (almost certain to be) final moments in life] to kill him. And all this is true while Crassus was at the time the most powerful and wealthy individual of the mighty Roman Republic, and Spartacus was seen by most of his contemporaries as little more than a dangerous slave who lead a failed rebellion - people didn't even know his original name. This to me shows the worthlessness of worldly power and fame in face of true heroism and righteousness. I was so moved and inspired by this scene.
@@DavidSmith-bk7dv Excellent I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this. Spartacus is one of my favorite shows of all time. And I love conversing about this show
spartacus won end off......spartacus beat crasus in that fight,spartacus managed to save some slaves,spartacus died with his people in peace,crasus lost his son,had to kill kory,dident get to kill spartacus,and never got the glory of winning or killing spartacus................
@@therabbi9848 wtf he did twice at least. Once he arranged a meeting with him and tried to negotiate , but crassus refused. Also, in the final battle this scene was somewhat real, as spartacus charged at crassus, and as he was about to strike, a spear struck his knee
Yep if not for his soldiers stepping in Spartacus kills Crassus, he had him defenseless on the ground at the end of his sword. Great show. This actor that replaced the Great Andy Whitfield did a very, very good job. RIP Andy, you brought spartacus to life!!
Such sad death indeed one of the greatest fight in the tv series. I also admire Crassus he has a high respect for Spartacus even at the very end he admires him.
heros and villians were blurred in this final season. you could argue that the slave rebellion was a bad move, they got too blood hungry. damn this show was soo good!
Not to take away from this actor who did a fine job but it broke my heart that Andy Whitfield died and couldn’t finish the story. He was amazing in season one and the documentary of his fight with cancer is an amazing watch.
Can't wait for house of ashur to come out.. they should do a few spin offs. Like gannicus coming to batiatus ludis and learning to fight. Maybe oenamaius when he was still in Africa. Maybe how barca became captured. I didn't like ashur that much. But can't wait fir spartacus 5
At the start of season 2, i was like, wtf is he ? like he not even close can take that role . But at the end i so faking loved him and it was very hard to watch him with 2 spears in his back.
well, not 100% stuck to history they got some things wrong, and made liberties for the narrative of the show but over all, they did a far better job than most Hollywood history stories
Si los romanos nos hicieron odiar el latín, con esta serie...los detestamos hasta el infinito. 👍🏻👍🏻🐶🐶La crueldad elevada al infinito, sadismo extremo. Bravo por Spartacus y por todos los que se levantaron contra la esclavitud y las torturas!!,👍🏻👍🏻🐶🐶 Genial serie, genial realización, geniales actores!!, Es una genialidad!!, 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Es una obra maestra. 👍🏻👍🏻
the scene was amazing! both exosted of a long battle, but both know this was the momment they long been waiting for, the memories of his loses flashed on his eye, forced him to use all he has in his breathe and might, smashing his sword on crussus's mass of flesh and iron, was the best moment of the entire serie, i could feel the exostion and the anger in him which a real champion could have had in that momment, and immidiatly you get another flashback in your mind when crassus blocks the sword on the air, the same exact tactic which ended crassus's trainer. it shows the skills of the director.
Actually Spartacus was born rich and fought long with the Romans. Because of that he learned a lot about Military tactics and discipline and such. Then happened something and he found himself on the opposite side, was defeated and conducted in Italy as slave to fight as gladiator.. the rest is known... He was the big one of the 3rd slavery war 76-72 b.C. the last slavery uprising of the whole Roman history.
@@federicorudolph949 well... 530 yrs later, 1480 yrs later assuming the date of death of the Eastern Roman Empire. But it changed much about the idea of slavery in the republic. Someone says that what really destroyed the legacy of Rome has been the extension of the citizenship to all free ppl by Caracalla, which made Roman 30mln ppl overnight. Someone else instead say that Caracalla's decision is the blow-off top of the entire legacy, which began with Romulus making few ppl "citizens of the new born city of Rome"... However the slavery wars are important but not sooo important in the WHOLE history. Much more important is the result of the things that the 3rd slavery war started. I mean Crassus and Pompey began that political/familiar/friendly relationship, which brought to the triumvirate with the rising-star Caesar. All began with the defeat of Spartacus.. otherwise Crassus would have never reached the same importance of Pompey in Rome.. as he was only rich, but Pompey was a general too.
Awesome so powerful and beautiful touching loving scenes,but shows how brutal the romans were tho but fantastic series much watch it again ,I am Spartacus

The idea of grabbing a naked blade with your hands is so visceral in the human eye, even though lots of fencing schools teach to do if done properly.

Brings tears to my eyes , so much emotion in this scene when you've watched the whole series
Damn still get me every time. Most shows that replace a lead actor end up not doing as well. It was Sad losing the former Spartacus to cancer but the new one filled his shoes perfectly and i hope made him proud. Rip.
THE most epic scene in the entire show. Obviously, that fight didn't occur but it is one of the few times that the historical incoherence feels adequate. Fun fact, Spartacus' body was never recovered, so who knows if he truly died during the final battle against the Romans. Fortunately, the producers saw fitting to give it a glorious ending
we kinda know some few details. like the whole gladiator event for cixus death actually happened we know that in the battle Spartacus saw Crassus on the battlefield and pushed to confront him causing Crassus to get knocked of from his horse and be saved by his men. but we dont know what happened to spartacus his body was never found and none of the prisoners of war were willing or able to identify him.
The respect in this fight was awesome. Right before Spartacus goes for the winning blow, the small nod from his opponent. Nice little touch.
I absolutely loved this show. Andy (RIP) and Liam were both awesome and Dustin as Gannicus was the coolest dude on the show. I am for coin and the company of questionable women was classic Gannicus line. I never watched Game of Thrones but think I would be disappointed after Spartacus. Did they ever say His real name? He said as he died it was not his name. I loved the fact that Crassus had so much respect for Spartacus. Just a great show. I still have the finale saved and watch it occasionally and tear up as he dies. I expected nothing when I started watching and got everything. Great show!
Even in the History (real life events), No one really knows or documented the real name of Spartacus.
When Spartacus re-grabbed the sword by the blade, Crassus realized this guy was the real deal, and that he has nothing on Spartacus as both a warrior and tactician.
He was a mighty legend the pillar of freedom to all who yarns for it
i think the whole point of their interactions was that they saw each other as equals, or at least they didn't underestimate each other
@@IinferusS Crassus never underestimated Spartacus since the beginning of the season he always respected Spartacus
Yes, one of the best scenes in the show imo. Fantastic detail because earlier in the season Crassus learned that this was the way to defeat Spartacus, the actor did an amazing job with his reaction as he realized Spartacus had no match.
It's pretty dumb, your hands will be Roman cheese before you can't move it
Before my father in law passed this was one of our favorite shows to watch. When Spartacus said bring me a sword after being impaled, we both said thats a TOUGH mfer. Miss you Kenny
The facial expressions by Crassus from 1:35 to 1:42 is acting at its finest. He says so much without saying a word.
Indeed, this is this moment he realized that he was the lesser warrior between the two of them and only fate spared him over Spartacus.
Just like that... 😭😭 That ending where he was embracing that final thrust of the sword after the flashbacks, really jerked the tears out of me.
This is one of the best series I ever watch it was action-packed from the first season to the end and I faithfully watched every last one of them!! Thanks you HBO!! Real Talk!!
Spartacus legend.... And today he is anywhere I salute his struggle and sacrifices...... And respect him a lot
damn just finished and im drowned in a valley of emptyness, this show was my life. I knew the last episode was coming and when it finished i was dead inside
Chin up, a spin off Spartacus series is in the works. Same show runner, Stephen Deknight. I'm guessing it'll be about Crassus, Ceasar & Pompey but just speculating
Have you watched vikings, or the last kingdom? Thats how i felt with those shows. Ive only seen bits and pieces of spartacus i think im gonna sit down and actually watch it
Man I remember when the finale aired and I wasn’t right for weeks. I sobbed and sobbed. Such a great fucking show
Spartacus got his vengeance on that weasel batiatus and he killed Gluber! The rest was just extra
Incorrect Richard. He did indeed face Crassus on the battlefield. He and Crixus did indeed split forces. And both fought bravely till being beaten by superior numbers. Crassus was killed many uears later after a falling out with Pompei and the senate about attacking the Parthians. The Parthians offered Crassus a sit down talk, on way to said meeting one of Crassus men suspected ambush grabbed Crassus horse by the bridle and caused a fight with the Parthians. They killed the Roman Party including Crassus and poured molten gold down his throat as a symbol of his greed of wealth. Although not entirety accurate. Spartacus remains a good account the time back then. Amd was historically accurate mostly.
@@TheTich87 richard woodley is correct. you are in the wrong. the other richard never spoke of crassus. why did you? you only speak about crassus. the other richard only ever spoke of spartacus killing batiatus and glaber. and literaly said everything in the show spartacus about dealing with Crassus was only a add on bonus. dumbass
@richard Woodley, history says he killed Batiatus, Glabrius(or glabber) and then face some Roman generals before being defeated by Marcus Crassuss
@@TheTich87 he meant that for a value of satisfaction, Spartacus already succeded well above expectations by getting his revenge on Batiatus and Glaber. He never claimed that Spartacus didnt face crassus. He just meant that by that point, it was just a bonus. Comprende?
You need to get your head out of your ass so you actually understand what people are trying to say.
@@sesanamusaamusa213 see my response to the other Richard.
Easily the best portrayal of the Spartacus saga to have ever graced a screen, the most realistic arena fights and battles to have been recorded by camera and the best actor to have assumed the main lead role; an absolute cinematic epic that time will venerate as one of the finest of the genre regardless of any future attempts to render similar stories convincingly.
Realistic arena fights? Definitely not except maybe the executions of the criminals (if they were facing against a professional gladiator, then they wouldn’t have been given real weapons). The show brutalized the sport of gladiators more than what it really was in Ancient Rome. Nonetheless it was still a good show
The best series I've ever watched!
I met most these guys at a “Spartacon” event in Maryland, decent bunch of guys. Most actors are arrogant and full of themselves.
Wish we got an epic fight like this between Jon Snow and the Night King
I never noticed Crassus’ little head nod at 1:36 as if he’s acknowledge that Spartacus has bested him and that he is about to die.
@@albertocarrilho5839 that’s just, like, your interpretation, man.
1:12 is just priceless, great acting job
The show definitely upped Crassus' Bad Guy repertoire to make him a proper nemesis. The real Crassus wasn't this Tywin Lannister master strategist, and he definitely wasn't a master swordsman who could take a champion gladiator in a fight.
I believe he was good enough as he beat the man who glaber couldnt defeat. and it requires quite an intelligence to amass that amount of wealth.
he did not "take" spartacus in a fight. as you can see spartacus here is extremely tired of battle. hardly able to walk. at 00:29 he couldnt even thrust the sword. if spartacus as fresh as crassus, the fight would've taken 5 seconds.
U knew him or what?
marble89 I agree with you but keep in mind Crassus is not fresh either that head blow and falling from the horse is pretty damn severe tbh.
@@Vivallamannen What exactly? The way he amassed his wealth is no secret and he was a decent tactician. Many remember him only for Carrhae
@@IinferusS i remember him solely for the distinct smell of his pootsack
manliest seriest i ever watched this series shows what makes a man ,man
Wish Jon and the Night King fought like this but no
spartacus is a better show
Same I was expecting an epic fight like this between Jon and the night king
@@mijanhoque1740 We can't have nice things, girls gotta save the day
little boys clutching their lotion and box of tissues… you’ll never be men so long as you’re afraid of women.
@@godwantsplastic i disagree about what he said but objectively Arya killing the night king made no sense whatsoever. Jon should have dueled him, point blank
@@hez859 how would it “make sense” for John to fight the night king? You mean like having the main good guy fight the main bad guy?
A great show that alot of ppl have forgotten about!
To this day the emotion of this scene, the acting by Liam in this scene was unbelievable . Why these actors were robbed of the awards they deserved I will never understand
Liam did a great job. The ending was very hard. RIP Andy Whitfield the greatest Spartacus. This series is epic
One of the Best shows I have seen in years.
Is there any other good show like spartacus
Such a great series. The makeup, the set, the script. A+

واقعا فیلم فوق العاده عالی بودش، هنوز که هنوزه واسه خودش اون تازگیشو داره، از اون موقعه که این فیلم اومده ده بار نگاهش کردم، حلالش اسپارتاکوس
Sigh!...my friday nights has not been the same since...Missed this underrated series so much...was better than G.O.T!!!
One of the best epic series movie ever made...still pumps my adrenaline
epic series, epic acting, epic action, epic story. in every way
1:13 the look of "Fuck why this isn't working again?" 😂
Those last 3 episodes 💔 Crixus battle. The Gladiator tribute battle. The final battle vs Rome and then Spart vs Crass. SHALL WE BEGIN?!
*Chefs kiss* it was so damn good ! The best ending ever to any series. We all wanted the different outcome but wow wow wow . And Liam gives me GOOSEBUMPS EVERY SINGLE TIME!
he lives as a man died as a man
No .......he was born a god....... lived as a god and....... AND DIED A GOD 🏋️
even better
And more importantly he died a free man
why do people keep thinking they will do a spin-off...spartacus is gone..he was the soul of the story...it's done
reboots are a thing of the future. and modern day people are brainwashed that way
@राष्ट्रीय समाजवादक b
but the actor that did Caesar was not that good
Well because Spartacus story is closely intertwined with Caesar and Crassus and the fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire
@@wayne47able i wouldn't mind seeing a spin off of his comrades after they buried him and what they did after the made it to the other country, what the Roman republic did afterwards
Not a spin-off but a sequel where they show the fall of the Republic or the Empire
This show honestly has some of the coolest choreography
Lockdown..
Watched all & everything in the collection avid G.O.T fan.
Then entire Spartacus series having missed many episodes when released.
Have to agree with comments
The finale was better than G.O.T .
Superb - acting, action, expression, arc, emotion, drama & brilliant music, damn strong onions !!
What a rollercoaster of supreme alpha madness.
Rip Andy
Congratulations Liam, Manu & co
Uk 🇬🇧 💥💥
Can't Hold my tears once again 🙏🏼👌🏼
Can't even imagine that they used to struggle so much to live in those time.
Rip spartacus, crixus, gannicus, enomao y todos los demas que lucharon por la libertad.. la mejor serie 😢
THE best TV series ever. Had it all.
Una gran serie ESPARTACO lo mejor que vi en Netflix
I like how for Agron and the other slaves in the area, Spartacus's life was so much more important than Crassus's that they didn't even bother to kill Crassus - Agron just knocked him away as if he was just an insignificant lowlife, and it's as if he was so worthless to Agron and the other slaves in the area that they wouldn't spend [any of the time that they could spend staying with Spartacus during his (almost certain to be) final moments in life] to kill him.
And all this is true while Crassus was at the time the most powerful and wealthy individual of the mighty Roman Republic, and Spartacus was seen by most of his contemporaries as little more than a dangerous slave who lead a failed rebellion - people didn't even know his original name.
This to me shows the worthlessness of worldly power and fame in face of true heroism and righteousness. I was so moved and inspired by this scene.
Andy had a very quiet demeanor as Spartacus. Liam had a very Shakespearean grasp on Spartacus. Both were fantastic as Spartacus!
Your comment is spot on I'm always happy to listen to observations and insights of others. Hope you don't mind?
@@DavidSmith-bk7dv Excellent I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this. Spartacus is one of my favorite shows of all time. And I love conversing about this show
The Best series Ever Love It.
Crassus trained intensively to face spartacus, yet it was all for nufin against the bringer of rain
It's just the power of iron Man .. Don't forget wonder woman love on him
spartacus won end off......spartacus beat crasus in that fight,spartacus managed to save some slaves,spartacus died with his people in peace,crasus lost his son,had to kill kory,dident get to kill spartacus,and never got the glory of winning or killing spartacus................
In reality Spartacus never met Crassus
@@therabbi9848 wtf he did twice at least. Once he arranged a meeting with him and tried to negotiate , but crassus refused. Also, in the final battle this scene was somewhat real, as spartacus charged at crassus, and as he was about to strike, a spear struck his knee
Facts
Yep if not for his soldiers stepping in Spartacus kills Crassus, he had him defenseless on the ground at the end of his sword. Great show. This actor that replaced the Great Andy Whitfield did a very, very good job. RIP Andy, you brought spartacus to life!!
His is a story that has been repeated throughout history and will repeat itself until the end of man
Not gonna lie this only time I cried when a fictional person died in a movie
Bro this is based off real shit
So many years after and it still breaks my heart 💔 I mean spartacus had won buh history has got to mess a damn good show for us.
Now imagine this scene with Andy. Uff. Damn, so sad he didn’t make it, he was born for this role. 😢
This scene, and the one with Glaber. The satisfaction that could've been felt... But oh well, Liam did a good job.
I truly only missed Andy for the final scene when he claims “That is not my name”, it’s closure for the story and Andy wasn’t there for it.
Jim carrey better suits this role...
@@saduuuuuuuuuuu Novody knows who that is!
Essa série foi uma obra de arte realmente incrível
The greatest series. I've ever seen made me cry non stop absolutely amazing
Such sad death indeed one of the greatest fight in the tv series. I also admire Crassus he has a high respect for Spartacus even at the very end he admires him.
Please can you tell me what this is , movie or series ???
@@Simon-nn4kf spartacus
@@SeraphSeph thanks for your reply , just ordered the complete box set !!!
@@Simon-nn4kf its definitely worth a watch. I've watched the series 4 times. Probably the best should I've seen.
@@SeraphSeph the best show I ever watch
Damnit Agron! Could've delivered a surprise coup de grace to Crassus but instead gives him a nudge down a hill out of sight. SMH😔
heros and villians were blurred in this final season. you could argue that the slave rebellion was a bad move, they got too blood hungry. damn this show was soo good!
One of the action and historical best series ever on TV that had to compete with the likes of GOT and others .
Not to take away from this actor who did a fine job but it broke my heart that Andy Whitfield died and couldn’t finish the story. He was amazing in season one and the documentary of his fight with cancer is an amazing watch.
what's amazing about that?🤔
@@TheDaleraka watch it and find out
Much better than game of shiit💎🍉🍉
Cause there have been rumors.It would be a spin-off of Caesar and Crassus which is also an interesting story to be told.
Can't wait for house of ashur to come out.. they should do a few spin offs. Like gannicus coming to batiatus ludis and learning to fight. Maybe oenamaius when he was still in Africa. Maybe how barca became captured. I didn't like ashur that much. But can't wait fir spartacus 5
Impossível não chorar com essa cena 😢
Andy would’ve been proud. You did an amazing job Liam 👏🏽 awesome scene.
Epic battle!
spartacus is the best ever!
One of the greatest shows to ever grace this planet
The face on Marcus 1:13 when his top plan didn't work
and Spartacus was like don't teach your father how to produce babies.
At the start of season 2, i was like, wtf is he ? like he not even close can take that role . But at the end i so faking loved him and it was very hard to watch him with 2 spears in his back.
1:12 hit me so hard. Actually had some hope they were going to vear off the true story path and spartacus would kill crassus
It's iron man
As an Iranian which is also fan of Crassus i wished at least they show Crassus fate in the hands of Parthians in Carrhae.
That Crassus signature move of grabbing the enemys sword 😬
Have the whole series on DVD. A show that stuck to the history we know. RIP Andy Whitfield
well, not 100% stuck to history they got some things wrong, and made liberties for the narrative of the show but over all, they did a far better job than most Hollywood history stories
Si los romanos nos hicieron odiar el latín, con esta serie...los detestamos hasta el infinito. 👍🏻👍🏻🐶🐶La crueldad elevada al infinito, sadismo extremo. Bravo por Spartacus y por todos los que se levantaron contra la esclavitud y las torturas!!,👍🏻👍🏻🐶🐶 Genial serie, genial realización, geniales actores!!, Es una genialidad!!, 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Es una obra maestra. 👍🏻👍🏻
the scene was amazing! both exosted of a long battle, but both know this was the momment they long been waiting for, the memories of his loses flashed on his eye, forced him to use all he has in his breathe and might, smashing his sword on crussus's mass of flesh and iron, was the best moment of the entire serie, i could feel the exostion and the anger in him which a real champion could have had in that momment, and immidiatly you get another flashback in your mind when crassus blocks the sword on the air, the same exact tactic which ended crassus's trainer. it shows the skills of the director.
Deberían seguir con esta serie con un hijo del buscando venganza oh algo muy buena serie pero el final daño todo
Es verdad pero técnicamente el murió en esta guerra tenía que tener ese final
"I bless the fates it was not so." -A bold rebel
Actually Spartacus was born rich and fought long with the Romans. Because of that he learned a lot about Military tactics and discipline and such. Then happened something and he found himself on the opposite side, was defeated and conducted in Italy as slave to fight as gladiator.. the rest is known... He was the big one of the 3rd slavery war 76-72 b.C. the last slavery uprising of the whole Roman history.
@@x_mau9355 the last and the one that eventually will lead Rome to its downfall.
@@federicorudolph949 well... 530 yrs later, 1480 yrs later assuming the date of death of the Eastern Roman Empire. But it changed much about the idea of slavery in the republic.
Someone says that what really destroyed the legacy of Rome has been the extension of the citizenship to all free ppl by Caracalla, which made Roman 30mln ppl overnight. Someone else instead say that Caracalla's decision is the blow-off top of the entire legacy, which began with Romulus making few ppl "citizens of the new born city of Rome"... However the slavery wars are important but not sooo important in the WHOLE history.
Much more important is the result of the things that the 3rd slavery war started. I mean Crassus and Pompey began that political/familiar/friendly relationship, which brought to the triumvirate with the rising-star Caesar. All began with the defeat of Spartacus.. otherwise Crassus would have never reached the same importance of Pompey in Rome.. as he was only rich, but Pompey was a general too.
Awesome so powerful and beautiful touching loving scenes,but shows how brutal the romans were tho but fantastic series much watch it again ,I am Spartacus
As injustiças vem de longa data,até hoje sofremos por causa do poder de muitos,a melhor série que já vi,chorei muito,mas vou ver de novo
You guys had to be there when this aired. Great ending to a wonderful show. Miss waiting for it to come on lol
